'One Ways’ Baffle Students
New one way streets imposed by Eastern's administration
could have been arranged differently in order to save energy.
Under the present system someone wishing to park in front of
Miller Hall must take the first parking place spotted (including
the married students' apartments) if they wish to save gas.

Hear any tall tales over the
holidays from local deer hunters
about the "big one that go away?”
How about the fella who perched
himself in what he thought was a
tree, only to be thrown for a great
distance from the antlers of an irate
buck.
Dec. 4. 7 9 p.m , in the home of Dr.
Miller.
Those reserving the display case
this month are: Dec. 3-7, Forestry
Club, Dec 10 14, DECA, and Dec.
17-21, Bible Chait.
The purpose of changing the streets is to relieve some of the
hazardous conditions in driving around the close corners and help
speed up the dumping off of dates as 12:29.45 a.m.
The whole situation must look as funny from the air as it does
from the ground. Cars begin to take on the shape of weary mice
searching for the end of the glass maze.
A better solution to the problem of hazardous driving would
be to once again open the street running north and south behind
Gunning Hall and the Fine Arts building for two-way traffic. The
one way street running east and west in front of Miller Hall could
be left as it is now
However, the road running east and west in front of the
married student's apartments would also have to be open to
two-way traffic. All married students would then be required to
park their cars in the areas constructed for them. This proposal
would give another entrance to the campus and also give male
students an easier route to return to their dorms.
Another proposal would be to extend the street in front of
Miller Hall making it intersect with the street running parallel to
the old United Ministry building, thus eliminating the hazardous
corner leading to the married student's apartments.
In order to help save energy, a new design of Eastern's streets
other than the present system is needed. These are just a few
suggestions.

An effort to make week ends
more enjoyable to those who stay
on campus, and possibly lure others
back at the same time, was initiated
by the Student Senate at the Nov
29 meeting.
The plan, which was referred to
the Student Activities Committee
for evaluation, would call for free
use of pool tables, in the Student
Union pool room, on Friday and
Saturday nights.
Turntables and speakers will be
available to provide music by
obtaining them from the electronics
department.
A Saturday evening dance in the
Student Union ball room war also
suggested as feasible. Music would
be provided from an allotment of
Senate funds to plug the juke box.
The energy conservation policy
for Eastern, as previously set by the
energy committee, - was related in
detail to the senators by President
Pam Dees, Spiro sophomore.
President Dees called for the

Big Brother Is Watching
A bill giving President Nixon emergency powers to deal with the energy
crisis was approved by a Senate committee last Monday as Congress
grappled with the problem of energy shortages.
The bill, written largely by Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., gives
Nixon the power to control rationing of scarce fuels by priority. It also
allows Nixon to:
-"Redistrict fuel from such nonessential uses as outdoor advertising and
recreation.”
-"Limit operating hours of commercial establishments and public
services, including schools, to save fuel.”
-"Reduce speed limits while encouraging the use of public
transportation through the use of mass transit fare subsidies and other
means."
•"Adjust the schedules of airlines, railroads and other public sources of
transportation."
Sure we're on the verge of a world-wide energy crisis, but is that any
reason to give a man whose political platform is crumbling enough power to
say how warm we are to keep our homes?
Doesn't the President have enough power already? Can no one see we
are molding a king? At one time didn't ere fight to escape the forces and
powers of a king. Or does anyone remember that far beck?
While public eyes are watching the Middle East conflict, wondering if
they II every have the luxury of buying gas where and whenever they want,
is it possible the beck door has been left unguarded allowing secret
communist aggressors to infiltrate our government?

why in the restroom?
Could it be they were there to

Maybe so, but they all could

Jimmy the Greek had made Israel a

Various teams throughout the
world could develop overwhelming
ground and air attacks.
Halfbacks could put mine
detectors in their shoes and dance
across mine fields. If their rushing
game faltered they could always
throw the "bomb". This does not
mean, however, that the opposing
defenses would be shredded. These
bomb passes could easily be picked
off by missile interceptors.
Obsolete plays would be reborn
under the new game. Take for
instance the longgone shotgun
formation A "shotgun" formation
in this league would be very
desirable
From this the playbook would
grow with the introduction of mine
sweeps, left and right, and a
smokescreen pass
if the United States was to form
a team. President Nixon could be
the general manager and General
William Westmoreland the coach
How about Dr Michael DeBakey as
the team physician?
If we needed to recruit players,
who would be better than Henry
Kissinger?
Finally, team players who had
shown themselves to be worthy of
special recognition, would be
named National Guards instead of
All Americans.

As football games become more
like wars, it is not too far fetched
that someday wars may resemble
football games. If this transition
took place, we might see, in the
near future, Howard Cosell and
Don Meredith announcing a
Monday Night War between
"league" rivals Israel and 7gypt
From this basic idea we can let
our imaginations wander and come
up with many ironic associations
between the two "sports."

It may be too late now, but
storehouses of energy could have
been saved if President Nixon had
banned the turkey from
Thanksgiving consumption.
If he had made the chicken the
mandatory holiday bird for one day
over the traditional turkey, at least
two hours cooking energy would
have been retained per bird.
As it was, thousands of turkeys
sat in countless ovens as we baked
and basted away our winter
warming reserves.
